We've waved goodbye to the cold, hard back of March and have welcomed in a marginally warmer April. Flowers are a-budding, lambs are a-leaping and Spring cliches are a-bundant.

Us Brits are notoriously obsessed with our weather and although we do tend to love unexpected climates (‘there has been enough rainfall in London this month to fill all our nation’s bathtubs ...TWICE!’) we are equally excited when our climate does exactly what it is supposed to.

Therefore we would like to share with you our shameless joy in seeing slivers of blue skies, creeping patches of sunlight and sunshine-woozy flowers stretching their way upwards, across the capital. Chorus along with us now — Spring has arrived!*
